You do not need to be a member of the Navy League, or have a reservation, to attend the in-person meeting–the general public is welcome. All are invited to this event. Only those who order a meal are required to pay for the meal. Others may attend at no-charge.
The Aurora Navy League Council 247 will hold its Tuesday Sept. 16, dinner meeting at the private room in the north side of the Riverview Diner, IL-25 and Mill Street, Montgomery.
A reception will begin promptly at 5 p.m. followed by a meeting at 5:30 p.m. with dinner afterward. The cost is $25 all-inclusive if an entree is ordered, or $20 for the dinner salad featured that evening. Free entry without food. The meeting will conclude before 7:30 p.m..
The after dinner speaker is Oswego Police Department Deputy Chief Shane Yackley. He will discuss the activities of the Oswego PD that keep you safe, and will offer many suggestions on how you can bolster your personal security.
Deputy Chief Yackley has served for 18 years in the Oswego PD, moving up from Patrol Officer, to Detective, to School Resource Officer, Patrol Sergeant, and Detective Sergeant. He specialized in Crime Scene Investigations and launched OPD’s Drone program. He is an Operation Iraqi Freedom II veteran where he piloted Blackhawk helicopters with the 1-106tg AVN Air Assault Unit accruing 400 combat flight hours. He is a Kendall County resident since 2002, married with four children, and one granddaughter.
The Aurora Council needs to expand its membership. This is our only source of funds to help the Junior Navy and AF ROTC units in area High Schools. It will pay half of the first year’s dues for new members. This is an excellent opportunity to attend an interesting event, and determine whether you would like to join permanently.
